Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

1. Getting up OK, despite only getting about 5 hours sleep. I look like a zombie right now.
2. Breakfast cereals.
3. Seeing a Pigeon, Magpie and Sparrow in the garden, all at the same time.
4. Free parking today.
5. I have a job to go to. I earn money doing it.
6. I know that my job today will be quickly over, and I’ll have a chance to loaf about a bit.
7. A nice warm shower.
8. I can get to the cashpoint today, and get some cash, and then get some more fuel. I have about half a tank left still, but it wont hurt to fill up.
9. Work went quickly. Despite the huge amount of paper’s this morning, C and I managed to get everything done before 9AM, which I think is a record.
10. I only had to serve about 10 customers.
11. Getting everything done quickly meant that I had time to stand and chat to my colleagues.
12. I’ve finally booked some holiday (provisionally). I’ve asked for weekends off, mainly, so I should get them, which means M will have to work Saturday’s. What a shame.
13. Chatting to A and Dinky in the Square, and setting the world to rights.
14. Chatting to PC K.
15. A Green&Blacks cereal bar.
16. Realising how much I enjoy sitting chatting.
17. Chocolate covered raisins. Delicious.
18. Going to the cashpoint early, so I had enough money to get the drinks with.
19. A nice big drink of cola from Starbucks. I am so glad A was there with me or I wouldn’t have known what to do.
20. Lovefilm have sent me another disk.
21. Playing with Wenna and the hosepipe. She really seems to love trying to bite the stream of water, and being hosed helps cool her down in this hot weather.
22. I got to borrow someone’s staff discount to buy the newspapers I wanted with.
23. I’ve been paid for an auction I was running on ebay.
24. Some communications I’ve had with another seller on ebay have been quite fruitful, and I’m going to go ahead with purchasing several items from them.
25. A nice nap. I needed it today.
26. Listening to a couple of hypnosis tapes. I do seem to be generally better after listening to them.
27. Cold water.
28. The electric fan and blackout curtains have done a good job of keeping me cool today.
29. Catching an open bottle of liquid before it fell over.
30. Playing with Wenna up the garden. I felt so guilty when I accidentally threw her ball over the fence into next doors garden. She kept looking for it.
31. Lying on the bed.
32. I’m making plans to move away from my current hosting provider. This means that creating a public access gratitude blog should be much easier.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. Teasing my boss. I complained about the stuffiness, and he responded that the air conditioning would kick in at 9:30, and went on to say that he was “Energy Monitor” for the area. I burst out laughing, and kept calling him that all day after.
2. Laughing with L.
3. Laughing with Dinky and A in the Square.

Things I want to manifest:

1. Job offers.
2. Money.

Things I’ve done for others:

1. Served a few customers.
2. Apparently, I gave helpful advice to A and Dinky. Which is cool.
3. Fetched PC K a bottle.
4. Gave Dinky a marguerite.
